DIY Tree Collar

Made from all our leftover Christmas decor!

We already have 3 trees with tree collars in our main living area so I didn’t want to spend another $40 for the kids Christmas tree in our downstairs so I decided to make one out of an extra Amazon box (lord knows we have a bajillion of those lying aruond this time of year) some scrap fabric, but wrapping paper would work just as good as long as it was thick enough to not see the hbox through it, some leftover ribbon and my glue gun! Steps and pictures listed below

Step 1: Measure your tree base and cut the box to the right height and width

Step 2: Wrap your box with the fabric- just like a present! If you’re using fabric, a hot glue gun will probably work best. If you’re using wrapping paper normal tape should be fine!

Step 3: Lay out your ribbon pattern and get gluing! I was trying to make mine look like a Christmas drum, lol! Fun fact: little drummer boy is my favorite Christmas song.

Step 4: Layer on any extras. I doubled up the ribbon and added pompoms in the peaks. I would have like to add a little gold to it to make it more Christmasy/festive but we didn’t have any on hand and this was a ZERO dollar project. No new dollars being spent.

Then let the kids decorate their tree (however they want…. ahh!)

Happy Crafting!!
